Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS) Part C

Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund

RAGS Part C provides guidance on the human health risk evaluations of
remedial alternatives that are conducted during the feasibility study,
during selection and documentation of a remedy, and during and after remedy
implementation. Part C provides general guidance to assist in site-specific
risk evaluations and to maintain flexibility in the analysis and decision-making
process. This guidance does not discuss the evaluation of ecological effects
that takes place during remedy selection and implementation, nor does
it discuss the risk management decisions that are necessary at a Superfund
site (e.g., selection of final remediation goals). The potential users
of Part C are persons involved in the remedy selection and implementation
process, including risk assessors, risk assessment reviewers, remedial
project managers, and other decision-makers.
